    The 8-bit content of I/O address 80h is serialized into a proprietary protocol and output on the J3 connector. In manufacturing, Kontron uses a display board to deserialize and display the postcode value on 7-segment LEDs modules. This approach enables you to see post codes before PCI initialization and avoid using a PCI postcode display board.
